The pure results of consuming an excessive amount of was to vomit.

Zhu Yun had by no means imagined that there can be a day the place she hugged the bathroom, vomitting. When she completed, she even seemed up on the mild and laughed.

There was no saving her. She felt like dying.

She went to the tap and washed her face with chilly water, praying for her sense of cause to return. She raised her head and noticed her very pink face within the miror. She touched her cheeks. Sizzling.

She stepped out of the washroom, the place Li Xun stood ready.

Shortly after, Gao Jianhong, dragging alongside a drunken Han Jiakang, got here outdoors. And never lengthy after that, Ren Di additionally got here out together with her guitar on her again.

“What’s this?” Ren Di walked as much as Zhu Yun and waved her hand. “Hey!”

Zhu Yun waved again. “Hey!”

Ren Di laughed. Li Xun requested her, “Can you allow now?”

“Mmh. We had been about completed up, so the others can deal with the remainder.”

Li Xun nodded, after which he shoved Zhu Yun in the direction of her. “You are taking her.”

After being pushed, Zhu Yun felt like she wished to vomit once more. Ren Di pat her again and mentioned, “Regular. Let’s go.”

On the highway, a muddleheaded Zhu Yun mentioned, “This isn’t the way in which again to highschool.”

Li Xun pulled out his smoke. “You’re going again to highschool at this hour?”

Zhu Yun requested, “Then the place are we going?”

Ren Di held onto her. “Again to my studio.”

Ren Di’s studio was in an workplace constructing a couple of streets south of the varsity’s campus. The constructing was 4 tales. For ease of placing in tools, the area was simply extensive and open, with just a few load bearing pillars.

The south-facing facet of the studio was apply area. There have been devices and sound techniques unfold throughout the ground, together with a tangle of wires. The north-facing facet was for resting. The decor was very primitive, with simply two extensive beds, lined with a multitude of issues.

It was practically 2 am.

After the lengthy day, everybody was exhausted. Gao Jianhong put Han Jiakang on a mattress and dropped down as nicely. Lower than half a minute later, he was asleep.

Ren Di put down her guitar and helped Zhu Yun to the opposite mattress. With out eradicating her make-up, she knocked off for the evening as nicely.

There was solely a dim mild on within the studio. Zhu Yun took a go searching and noticed Li Xun’s bag and garments within the nook. She quietly requested Ren Di, “Does Li Xun sleep right here typically?”

Ren Di was too drained to open her eyes. She merely mentioned, “Mmh. Typically when he works too late on the apply base, he’ll sleep right here.”

“You let him keep right here free of charge?”

“He’s our band’s investor.”

“Ah?”

Ren Di turned over. Her voice grew quieter as she mentioned, “Weren’t you interested by our relationship earlier than? That is it. He’s the investor that I discovered.”

Zhu Yun blinked.

Ren Di yawned. Muddleheaded, she mentioned, “No… I’m so drained. I’m going to sleep.”

Zhu Yun turned her head and noticed Li Xun by the wall. “Hey, are you sleeping?”

Li Xun gave the impression to be fascinated with one thing. When he heard her voice, he seemed over. “I’ll, later. Fall asleep.” Then he turned the sunshine off.

The room went pitch black.

Zhu Yun was mendacity in mattress, her head pointed in the direction of the place Li Xun was sitting. She turned over in mattress a couple of instances, after which she realized that there was some mild previous her head.

Zhu Yun seemed over and noticed that Li Xun had completed a smoke and was sitting on the bottom, leaning towards the wall, his laptop computer open.

Everybody else was already sleeping, so she whispered as quietly as she may, “What are you doing?”

Li Xun replied, “Nothing. Fall asleep.”

Zhu Yun prolonged her neck extra. “The undertaking’s already completed, so what are you continue to writing?”

Li Xun impatiently lit one other cigarette and turned to her. “Are you going to sleep or not? Why do you have got a lot crap to say after you drink.”

“……”

Quiet.

After three seconds, Li Xun turned again to his work—

“Are you beginning a brand new undertaking?”

“……”

“What’s it received to do with you?”

Tsss! Ash fell on his hand and Li Xun closed his laptop computer.

Even from 5 meters away, Zhu Yun may really feel his anger. She shortly retreated and timidly mentioned, “Okay, okay, I’ll shut up. I’m going to sleep.”

The world was quiet as soon as extra.

A number of minutes later, Li Xun felt that one thing wasn’t fairly proper.

Within the darkness, it appeared like one thing furry was creeping up behind him.

Li Xun was extraordinarily centered when he labored and barely received distracted. However this fuzzy factor was that was getting into the neighborhood of the pc display lower into his ideas. He turned. Zhu Yun’s head was approaching. Her physique was caught to the wall behind them as she moved ahead, little by little.

Fortunately, Li Xun wasn’t afriad of ghosts. If he’d been a timid individual, he would have already fainted.

“Lan—” a quiet voice began to learn. Li Xun reacted instantly as she began talking. He put down his laptop computer and lined her mouth.

“Guan—” Zhu Yun struggled towards him to complete. “Lan, ohh—”

“Be quiet!” Li Xun whispered. All of the sudden, he felt a ache in his hand. “You dare chew me?!”

She dared to chew. She dared to kick too.

Zhu Yun began to kick chaotically, and the anger inside Li Xun burned. Lastly, he grabbed Zhu Yun’s arms and pressed them collectively.

“Are you able to cease messing round?!”

“Languan Firm!”

After their battle, she discovered that she’d misplaced her glasses. With the intention to higher see her opponent and provides off an imposing air, she moved her face nearer to his and stared into his eyes, their noses practically touching.

“I noticed it!” Her respiratory grew quicker, the scent of alcohol within the air. “Don’t assume I didn’t see. That was for Languan! What undertaking is that? How lengthy have you ever been engaged on it? Why did you cover it from us? You higher inform the reality.”

Her voice was getting louder. Li Xun was afraid that she would wake somebody up, so he lined her mouth once more.

This time, Zhu Yun was ready. The second he launched his maintain on her, she shortly grabbed onto him, like a monkey on a tree, dragging him down.

Li Xun fell to the ground.

“Fuck!” When his knees hit the ground, he clenched his tooth in ache.

After Zhu Yun’s profitable counterattack, she didn’t neglect her imposing stare. “Received you!”

Li Xun, “……”

Somebody on the mattress turned. Li Xun glanced over, after which he seemed down at Zhu Yun, hanging off of him. Lastly, he let loose a helpless sigh and closed his laptop computer. He received up from the bottom and dragged Zhu Yun out to the balcony.

After closing the door behind them, Li Xun pulled Zhu Yun off of himself.

“After consuming a little bit, you went fucking loopy.” He couldn’t assist cursing at her as he seemed on the disheveled-haired Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun pointed at him. “Don’t change the topic. What was that?”

Li Xun leaned towards the balcony railing and seemed out on the quiet evening scene. In a drained voice, he mentioned, “That’s why I don’t like ladies such as you. Rambling all day lengthy, asking and asking and asking.”

“What’s it?”

Li Xun checked out her, after which he headed again inside. Zhu Yun wished to seize onto him, however he turned again and pinched her chin. He was very shut.

“That’s sufficient,” he mentioned quietly. “Wait right here.”

And so, Zhu Yun obediently waited on the balcony. After a second, Li Xun returned along with his laptop computer in hand. He handed it over to Zhu Yun after which lit one other cigarette.

Zhu Yun checked out it and Li Xun mentioned, “The primary objective of this technique is—”

“No, no, no,” Zhu Yun lower him off. “I’ll have a look at it myself.”

Li Xun raised his brows.

A triumphant expression crossed Zhu Yun’s drunken face. Slowly, she mentioned, “I can perceive your code now. I don’t must power myself.”

As he recalled their previous change, Li Xun couldn’t assist smiling.

Zhu Yun sat down on the bottom after which mentioned, “So inform me. Why are you making this?”

“To promote it.”

“Promote it?”

“Languan’s web site growth is a bit missing. In the event that they proceed on as is, they are going to have a really arduous time incomes cash.”

Zhu Yun raised her head. Li Xun was leaning towards the railing, cigarette in his hand. He wasn’t smoking although. His head was lowered as he fiddled with it.

On the ground above them lived a foot therapeutic massage store. Their store signal was neon pink. Because it shined onto his golden head, the picture was each soiled and but stunning.

“In the event you knew it wouldn’t earn a living, why didn’t you inform them?” she requested.

Her remark made Li Xun snigger. “If I informed them, how would I earn cash?”

Zhu Yun lowered her head with out talking.

Li Xun continued, “There are tons of purchasing websites and far bigger platforms. Languan is producing and promoting their very own merchandise, however their web site has no particular options. Why would anybody purchase fron them? They solely comply with the pattern, however they don’t even perceive their very own strengths. Did they assume cash was that simple to earn?”

Zhu Yun nonetheless didn’t reply.

The air felt stagnant.

Li Xun was quiet a second, after which he spoke softly, “I didn’t intend to cover it from you guys. At first, I hadn’t deliberate to do that. If Zhang Xiaobei hadn’t jumped in, and we’d signed the contract, I might have given them some ideas. However since she did push her method in, this was my solely choice.”

Li Xun dropped his cigarette on the bottom and stepped on it.

This quiet was making him a bit uneasy.

“Don’t get right into a huff, I’m not one to flatter individuals.” With a frown, he seemed over at Zhu Yun’s drooping head. “You—”

Loud night breathing.

“……”

Li Xun crouched down and checked out Zhu Yun’s lowered head. She was already completey asleep. He was left speechless. Lastly, he mentioned, “…I’m critically fucked.”

He carried Zhu Yun again inside and positioned her on the mattress. He sincerely hoped that she wouldn’t bear in mind something within the morning.

The following day, Zhu Yun received up and noticed that Li Xun had already left. She and Gao Jianhong headed again to highschool collectively. After class completed, she headed straight to the apply base.

Li Xun was having some enjoyable along with his new girlfriend. Zhu Yun walked over and pulled at her slender waist. Gently pulling her to the facet, Zhu Yun mentioned, “Come on, sit right here for a bit.”

“What are you doing?” his girlfriend requested unhappily.

Zhu Yun pulled over a chair and sat down in entrance of Li Xun. “We didn’t end our discuss final evening.”

For the primary time, Li Xun felt the headache from an all-nighter.

He received up and led Zhu Yun into the hallway. Simply then, Gao Jianhong was heading inside. “What’s happening?” he requested.

“Nothing,” Li Xun replied, his steps accelerating. Zhu Yun was mainly hauled off by him. After heading down the corridor, they made a flip, after which Li Xun pushed Zhu Yun towards the wall.

“You’re going to maintain happening incessantly, aren’t you?”

Li Xun was tall, and as he seemed down at her, his bigger momentum bolstered his superiority. Zhu Yun quietly tip-toed to bolster her peak, to little avail.

“Say issues clearly.”

“Clearly, my ass!”

She pushed Li Xun. He didn’t budge, however at the least it expressed her feelings.

“We spent a lot effort engaged on this web site, however then you definately say that it’s ineffective. So was all our arduous work pointless?”

“Pointless?” Li Xun scoffed. “You didn’t achieve something from finishing this undertaking?”

Zhu Yun’s voice went quiet. “…Nicely, that’s not precisely proper.”

“If I had informed you that the web site wouldn’t make any cash, and that another person was going to take credit score for it, would you have got labored that arduous?”

Zhu Yun replied, “However—”

“There are not any buts. There was nothing fallacious with the web site. It was accomplished nicely. Whether or not or not it makes cash depends upon lots of elements.”

Zhu Yun mentioned, “You continue to may have informed us. We’d have continued to maintain working collectively.”

“Have you ever already forgetten what Han Jiakang mentioned?”

“……”

“Proceed? Working for another person? Earning profits for them?”

Zhu Tun couldn’t assist muttering, “Cash, cash, cash! All it’s important to speak about is cash. You’re simply the identical as Zhang Xiaobei.”

Paah!

Li Xun’s hand hit the wall beside Zhu Yun’s face.

“Princess.”

“……”

“It’s true that you just received’t know the price of gas and rice till you’re the top of a family.”

Huh?

Li Xun continued, “Are you aware how a lot it prices to pay Ren Di’s crap band?”

Zhu Yun shook her head and Li Xun scoffed.

He raised his chin and requested, “Do the computer systems within the apply base run shortly?”

Nod.

“Are you aware their specs?”

Shakes head.

“Have you ever ever puzzled why that is the one classroom in the whole college the place the computer systems run this quick?”

She shook her head once more.

“Would the varsity have spent cash to organize them for us? Why would they? Since you’re fairly?” 　

Ah? You assume I’m fairly? Zhu Yun realized that her ideas had utterly modified course.

Li Xun checked out her. He straightened up and mentioned, “There are solely so many good initiatives. In the event you don’t battle for them, then they’re gone. You need me to surrender my sources? You’re dreaming.”

Zhu Yun snuck a look at him.

Li Xun’s arms had been on his waist as he seemed to the facet, in thought.

He actually seemed like a stray canine.

Zhu Yun requested, “In the event you had been dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaobei, why didn’t you point out it to us sooner? Why did it’s important to undergo in silence?”

“If I spoke up earlier, there would have been tons of forwards and backwards, and nothing would have come out of it.” He checked out Zhu Yun. “There are a lot of methods to resolve a single situation. I may make one thing higher and also you guys may achieve extra expertise with this undertaking. There was no cause to waste time. As for Zhang Xiaobei…” He scoffed. “The world is full of individuals like her. If I had been to cope with every certainly one of them, I wouldn’t be capable to put a meal on the desk.”

“……”

Zhu Yun lowered her head and Li Xun requested, “What are you fascinated with?”

Zhu Yun pouted. “I’m recalling one thing.”

“Recalling what?”

“The pot of encouraging, toxic hen soup you gave me to start with.”

“……”

Zhu Yun copied Li Xun’s tone. She cleared her throat after which spoke emotionally, “The whole lot on this planet can solely keep its authentic type on the very starting. As time strikes ahead, these issues will diverge from their authentic type. However these issues are nonetheless well worth the effort we put into them. As a result of with our arduous work, we will hold these issues from altering too vastly. Don’t you assume so?” She wiggled her brows at Li Xun. “Proper?”

She’d simply meant to tease him, however she hadn’t anticipated that Li Xun would purse his lips. “You bear in mind my phrases that clearly?”

“……”

“Not dangerous.”

The victorious Basic Li arrogantly returned to the bottom. Zhu Yun tried to restrain herself, however after a bit, she ran as much as Li Xun and vented her anger by giving him a shove.

Li Xun staggered and turned again. “What are you doing?!”

Zhu Yun glared at him. “You golden haired demon, hmph!” Then she rolled her eyes and walked off.
